Double Trouble (or More): Effectively Navigating Parallel Investigations
Market participants subject to enforcement investigations by the CFTC are increasingly having to deal not only with a single investigation, but also parallel investigations by the Department of Justice, non-U.S. regulators (such as in the UK, Asia, and Middle East), and sometimes the financial exchanges and other SROs. Parallel investigations present unique challenges for the target or subject, including in dealing with timing, production of information, testimony, whistleblowers, presentations, and potential resolutions – whether in the areas of market manipulation and other disruptive trading, anti-corruption, sanctions, or others. This is made all the more complicated when dealing with cross-border investigations. The team from Morgan Lewis—including a former chief of the Fraud Section and a leader of the Market Integrity & Major Frauds Unit—will address these challenges as evidenced in recent enforcement actions, and provide useful insights into approaches for navigating parallel investigations, in the U.S. and cross-border, to minimize risk and maximize the prospects for success.
